The Sheahen family has lived in Highland Park for over 5 generations. The first family member was Patrick Sheahen, an Irish immigrant in 1859. When Patrick arrived in America he made his way to Highland Park and began working as a farm hand for Daniel McAdams. Patrick married Daniel McAdams eldest daughter, Mary Jane, and they had 7 children. These 7 children continued to work and live in Highland Park where there roots anchored them to the building up of Highland Park. Over the years, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren have been born into the Sheahen family, who also continue to live in the area.
